Updates on Schumacher's health had seen a significant halt the past years. After the unfortunate skiing accident at the French Alp in 2013, fans have been craving for news update concerning the F1 legend. However, a media blackout has been implemented by Schumacher's camp to protect the privacy of the F1 champion.
"Of course, Michael will not disappear, but at the moment the private situation is so complicated that unfortunately no insight can be given. There must be understanding for this," Express quoted Sabine Kehm as saying.
However, despite the expression of a news blackout, some people still managed to produce some news concerning Schumacher. The German magazine Bunte, later on, claimed that Schumacher had taken his first steps since the skiing accident and the coma. However, Kehm was quick to deny the write-up saying that such speculation was irresponsible.
The accusation made by Kehm did not just remained in print and interviews, for it has been reported that a secret trial has been going in connection with the alleged false report made by Bunte. Schumacher's legal camp headed by Felix Damm firmly stated that what the magazine did was an invasion of the racer's privacy, according to Mail Online.
Despite the secrecy veiling Schumacher's health, fans are still hopeful that the racer will someday be back to its original form. Although lacking in the specifics, some close friends of Schumacher managed to lit the hope of fans by sharing important update concerning the racer's health.
A former boss, Ross Brawn, shared to the public that there are already some encouraging signs being observed with involving Schumacher's disposition. He also encouraged fans to keep on praying for the F1 hero's fast recovery. In such a way, fans may be able to display their support for Michael Schumacher, while showing respect to the family's decisions.
